J.P. Morgan's Pulkit Sharma on How REITs Play Complementary Role in Diversified Portfolios

Pulkit Sharma, head of J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Alternatives Investment Strategy and Solutions (AISS) business, joined the REIT Report podcast to review the evolving landscape of real estate investing, emphasizing the benefits of diversified portfolios that combine public and private strategies. “When it comes to alternatives today, we believe more is better in client portfolios, broader is better, as well as active is better,” Sharma said. Real estate, and REITs in particular, play an important part of that alternative investment landscape, he added. Sharma noted that the increased availability of data today has resulted in a more science, less art-based approach to designing outcome-oriented portfolios that target various client priorities such as income orientation, growth orientation, or a combination of both. A research piece , coauthored with GIC Singapore, shares insights into a framework for building multi-alternatives portfolios, integrating strategic sizing of positions with active marginal capital allocation to improve portfolio outcomes.
